Description 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)
Summary In 'Dictatorship and Information', Martin K. Dimitrov offers a systematic theory of the institutional solutions to the dictator's dilemma, which arises from the incapacity to calibrate repression and concessions due to distorted information about elite and popular discontent. Dimitrov argues that communist regimes are especially adept at developing sophisticated systems that mobilize the party, state security and internal journalism to assess levels of dissent
